Why they call them skinny .......

Skinny jeans can have several definitions. They may refer to very tight fitting jeans that have a tapered leg and are usually made of denim. They’re also sometimes the pants women refer to as the elusive pair of jeans they could fit into if they just lost a few pounds. The first definition is more common.

The skinny jeans style wasn’t always jeans when first worn in the early 1950s. The pants had other names like pencil pants and were noticeably tapered to fit the leg with a very slim cut leg bottom that hugged the ankles. Such styles were worn by men and women, and were popularized by people in the rock and roll industry, in country western music and also by several noted actresses like Sandra Dee and Rock stars like Elvis .I googled that definition! Arent you impressed?:p

Now you know where that name came from and why they are called skinny jeans..The real question is "do you have to be super skinny to wear them?" Here are some facts and myths about skinny jeans.I will add that I am a curvy girl, I always have been and no matter what size I am that wont change.I have been a VERY wide range of sizes currently I am a size 6,do I wanna be a 2 ...hell yeah, have I been a size 24 hell yeah,Im 5'3 and god knows I just keep waiting for those 2 extra inches that never seem to come? Instead those 2 extra inches like to creep on my thighs when I'm not looking..

But that's a whole different blog and a whole different rant I wont get into ......

Here's what I have found about the subject matter....

The Body-Type Match
The first step to finding the right pair of women's skinny jeans is to determine your body type. Women's shapes fall into a few specific categories to help you find the clothing that will be most flattering to you. The pear shape is narrower through the shoulder and bust, and wider through the hips, derriere and thighs. An hourglass figure sports a narrower waist sandwiched between a larger bust and wide hips. The petite body type is shorter and smaller all over, and the athletic build is long and lean with few curves to boast of. Does one of these body shapes apply to you more than the others?

Washes That Work Best

For most body types, skinny jeans are best purchased in darker hues (those who are genetically gifted and fit into the "skinny" category can probably purchase jeans in almost any color, however). These darker colors add a surprisingly slimming effect that will good on women of any weight. Darker colors also add an element of "dressing up" that make your look come together a little bit better. 

Understand that all skinny jeans are not created equal. Try on different brands and cuts to decide just how fitted you want them to be. The right pair can make you look thin!

WAIT did that just say what I think it said? lets recap....."The right pair CAN make you look thin!!!!"

...Look I know that we all range in sizes but my point is that most of us aren't a size 4...For those of you who are a size 4 and below still doesn't mean that you are wearing your skinny jeans in the right way either.....skinny girls
